Did you mean this command instead? (how to reply to this)
Suppose I entered the following thing into terminal:
wgets "link"
I will get the response:
No command 'wgets' found, did you mean:
Command 'wget' from package 'wget' (main)
I made a mistake, and the terminal warned me.
Is there a command that I can type after the terminal warned me, so that then it will execute the command above with what it thought it was?
For example:
->wgets "link"
->No command 'wgets' found, did you mean:
Command 'wget' from package 'wget' (main)
->yes (this command I am looking for ... is there one?)
-> executing wget "link"
bash shell command-line command autocorrection

This is not a generic "shell" question. What happens in this circumstance varies from shell to shell. The Z shell differing from the Bourne Again shell differing from the Korn shell, for example. It also depends from what shell extensions are installed. Your question is describing the behaviour of a particular shell with a particular extension.
